Hey everyone!
I’ve added some more “wannados” to the art section,
Here are the tattoos I’d like to make!
Also here is a work in progress from last week I tattooed on my friend Leigh!
It’s a concept piece based on her personality and life experience. I’m hoping to tailor more of my tattoo designs in this way.
Also I got to tattoo Emily’s old Cat pal Lelu on her last week! Old kitties are so cute.
Thanks for looking!

Hey everyone! Some great news! After my guest spot at Purple Rose Tattoo Studio in Bristol I had such a good time I decided to go and work there permanently! Everyone there is so nice and the studio and atmosphere are amazing!
I also got to make some great tattoos last week!
A grey lop rabbit on Tara who sat like a champ for it!
And I also go to make Jess’ little pirate bear Alice the Shitzu so she has her forever now!
I got a healed photo of the start of Zoe’s horsey before I coloured it and made it all swollen again! One more session and it’ll be finished and I can show yall how fancy it’s looking!
I’m doing my best at keeping this blog updated. I feel pretty inspired again after the last couple of weeks so expect even more!!
Hey everyone! Another update just to showcase some of the recent tattoos Ive been working on.
I got to do this cheeky Totoro cover up on the lovely Becky!
I looove studio Ghibli so this was a real treat!
I also started two pet tattoos on Dave which I will have finished photos of next month! However here is a peek of his pirate cat Jacob!
And I got a healed photo of Dave’s calf tattoos I did a few months ago
I finished Austin’s Dandy lion tattoo also!
Here is a cute little Koala on James! Love the tropical theme at the mo, I really enjoyed this tattoo!
I managed to get another session on Elliot’s greek mythology sleeve as well. Here are Zeus and Pegasus
Hopefully more photos in a week or so as I’ll be updating more often in preparation for the move to Bristol. I will be doing a guest spot with some very talented tattoo artists in June and perhaps going to work at their studio come August!
thanks everyone

Hey everyone, It’s been a strange old month!
First off- information time, everything is pretty loose at the moment with nothing solid but for my own piece of mind I’ve decided to put a date in place to stop working in Newbury so I can focus on househunting and get the move in order. This date is 19th July, as I’ll be working the Cardiff Tattoo and Toy convention the 23rd and 24th July, then hopefully moving the week after!
I am now fully booked during my remaining time at the Black Rabbit in Newbury, I will be moving to Southmead Tattoo in Bristol as of August and will be fulltime in Bristol from then.
However I am not currently booking that far ahead yet as I don’t want to have to rearrange or disappoint anyone. The best way to get booked in once I move is to fill out this booking form and send it back to me from the 6th June!
Thanks everyone!
Hey everyone, I’m finally back from my looong few months of guest spots. No more now until after I get back from Singapore in March! I will be fulltime at Black Rabbit in Newbury, Berkshire from now until further notice! That means I get to tattoo you Reading and Newbury folks again!
I tattooed the wonderful Kitty Kotori a few months back with a picture of her cute dog Boo! This was so fun to tattoo, and we got it done in 4 hours because she sat so well!
And here are some pics of the Scottish fold Kitty I got to tattoo on Sidonie at my guest spot in Daventry at Nevermore
Really enjoyed making the colour palette for this one, and would love to do more along these lines.
Here is a work in progress that I also really loved doing, can’t really go wrong with an arctic fox tattoo though right? This is very much a cute animal tattoo blog post!
Nor can you go wrong with a wolf! Well…I don’t think you can anyway- I started this wolf sleeve up in my guest spot at Blue Cardinal in Manchester. I really did have a blast there with Beau!
I got to start this Wicked tattoo as well!
Here is a lady I got to do at my guest spot in Birmingham at Sweet Life Gallery
This really was a special guest spot, I loved working with Leah and Craven and hopefully will be heading back up there after my holiday in March!
So a little info- I’m currently booking for January, February and March up until my holiday, if you’d like a spot please email hannahcalavera@hotmail.co.uk
Thankyou!

Here is the brief lowdown!
I am currently splitting my time between Black Rabbit Tattoo Collective in Newbury, Arkham Tattoo in Kidlington (Oxford) and O’ Happy Dagger in Amersham. Due to the odd working hours, and the crazy but lovely response to my recent work I’m totally booked up until the new year
I will probably be moving house in january so I have closed my books temporarily to avoid having to disappoint/rearrange anyone
Sorry guys
I will be putting on my facebook page when I’m opening up my books again this will most likely be on the 20th November. Ongoing work and prepaid deposits will get first priority, but I will be taking on new work too.
If you want a new piece and don’t mind waiting until January/February for it please email back in a couple of months including
Subject matter- and how specific or open you are for me to go crazy on your design
Style ( just say my style if you like all my other stuff 😀 )
Size- in inches or cm OR “full sleeve” “full leg” and “full back”
Placement
Whether you want it in Colour or black and grey
Length of time you can feasibly sit
any reference material you have amassed-these could include things like olour schemes, poses of birds or happy little pet faces.
If it is a cover up, a photo of your existing tattoo next to a ruler or an easily recognised object such as a DELICIOUS BISCUIT (everyone knows how big a custard cream is)
Where you are based, which studio would be more convenient for you and whether you are willing to travel.
What days suit you best, weekends tend to get booked up super fast so if you can do weekdays you will probably get in faster.
If you include all this information it will be super easy to get you in as soon as possible 🙂
My prices for new work will be- £50 minimum charge, £90 per hour or £400 for a full day. To book a day I require a £100 deposit, anything less will be a £50 deposit. These are payable by paypal or bank transfer- you can get the details on request
If you are an existing customer, please include a photo of what you already have (so i can remember how far we’ve gotten!) and how long you want to sit for, as well as how much you currently have on deposit. Existing work does have priority and will be charged at old pricing rates!
In the meantime you can follow me on fb or instagram for any news!
Thankyou for your continued patience 🙂

Hey everyone, long time no update- I’ve been a wee bit busy with all the travelling from Oxford! First update is that I now have a Travel section on my site for guest spots and convention news. Second is that I have settled into the new routine and am having fun in Newbury at Black rabbit once again! As well as starting at Arkham in Kidlington, which is a lovely, chilled out little studio.
So since the last update I went on a portrait painting course in Cornwall. Here are some of the paintings I’ve done, the rest can be found in my gallery.
Then a week later I travelled to Kerala for a well deserved break. I had an amazing time, by far one of the best places I’ve ever been. I came back uber relaxed after all the stress and incredibly inspired.
So, even with the post holiday blues I got stuck straight back into work feeling better than ever! I finished off Jessie’s peacock finally.
And did this cute little fella, covering up some old kanji. I’m loving pissed off looking owls at the moment!
I made this WW2 bear for Alan, complete with trench knife
and also made this goat on Norm
I just bought a new camera too so hopefully I will be putting out much better photos of my work. After chatting to Jess I realised I need to put as much effort into taking photos as I do creating the tattoos otherwise the photographs won’t do them justice.
Thanks for looking guys

So the first week back in Jericho Tattoo Emporium was a great one.
Got a bit more done on Aubrey’s Jackelope Sleeve
Also got a healed shot of Jessie’s Flamingo tattoo
and started another tattoo on her too, a large peacock piece! Can’t wait to show you a photo of that next time she comes to Oxford.
And I got some more done on Victoria’s little mermaid tattoo
It’s my day off today, a busy one of course but after I get all my little jobs, drawing, sketching, updates and emails done I might go and have a little wander round Oxford.
Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Well, seeing as things are pretty busy at the moment I’ve only signed up to do two conventions next year. The Tattoo Tea Party in Manchester on the last weekend in Feb.
I’m already booked on the Saturday/Sunday but still have a full day on the Friday, love to do a full day but I’m open to a few littler pieces too 🙂
The next one is the Cardiff Tattoo and Toy convention in July
Which I signed up for at the end of the con this year as I had such a good time. No bookings for this yet apart from Lori, but I’d like to do a couple of film-themed pieces. Will be doing some movie flash if I can’t get booked up though so walk-ups may very well be welcome!
Now if anyone from far and wide would like me to come to a convention near them nearer the end of the year I might be open to sign up with Helen so do feel free to send me a message and I’ll see what I can do!
And remember- if you have any questions regarding booking please read the FAQs and email me
Thanks everyone 😀
